Make two styles.  Type the text using the first style.
When you are ready to print, use the second style
with rotated text.  After printing go back to the first
style.

There may be some size issues, but you should be able to get around those.

Best regards

When in doubt, get out a ruler and create a table.

Make sure it is set to proper cell size for each card.

Type/insert text.  Rotate text.

It's a kludge, but it works.
